Amplification of 16S rRNA gene sequences to differentiate two highly related bradyrhizobia species Amplificação de seqüências do gene RNAr 16S para diferenciar duas espécies de bradirrizóbios altamente relacionadas

A 16S rRNA gene PCR-based assay was developed aiming at a fast molecular diagnostic method to differentiate the two phylogenetically closely related species Bradyrhizobium japonicum and B. elkanii, isolated from soybean nodules, in order to identify those more competitive and comprising greater nitr...
